I found this pic on sharkey marine.com taken at the hot toddy runthis past weekend . thought I'd show you guys. I know I have to loose the cig sticker.

Hello Tuffenuff,

Wow, is that one of Charlies originals?

Nice rig!

As far as the Cig sticker, everybody screamed and yelled at me to take mine off. Then Charlie Jr. sent me some new decals...

I like the Banana one better...

Is this the same boat?

If so I think it is hull #7...

yes it is the pic you posted. I keep the boat on LI NY. Hopefully will get together with you guys on an outting or two next year. The boat is a 1984,I replaced everything on the boat . But the paint. Thank you for the compliment.

That should be older than 84. It should be 78 or 79 hull # in the 20's, but ask Charlie to be sure.

Boat was built as a hull and deck that I planned to give my son Charley some day....it was built as a no number boat.

But a good frined of mine who lived in Miami really wanted it and at that time my son and I were getting in car racing so.....long story short, I sold him the hull and deck and they put an '84 number on it.

It was rigged by the same guy who rigged my race boat the 38 foot top banana....Bobby Davis @ B&C marine in Hollywood.

The boat was at Fisher Island for a number of years in Miami and then my friend moved up to a Baia and sold the banana....we lost track of it until now.

TOP BANANNA thank you for the info on my boat. I have to say I am releived you guys built this boat , having heard some bad stories of the 2nd gen boats. The story behind this boat is unbeliavable. I guess I have a pretty special boat. I wish you guys all the best with your co.
